I made them both an hour, since these are both popular long running series and a lot of people are expected to come. In order to make sure we have plenty of time and get all the photos taken for each character, groups, and pairings.

I remember last year we were capped at 20 minutes unless we asked for an extension for an extra 20 minutes for larger groups. Both had huge turn outs last year so I feel I need the extra time for both.

@TishaAlbarn I think an hour and a half on the two big days and one of the most used locations is a bit excessive. I don't think there will be that many cosplayers for those groups either, not the number that would require such a large amount of time.

Last year it was something like you got 20 minutes, or 40 if you asked for an extension, and then if people still wanted to take photos, you would move elsewhere.

I'm scheduling the Homestuck meetups right now, and those usually have one of the higher cosplay meetup turnouts, and I would not go over an hour.

I myself would like it if I could request the Patio on Friday and Saturday for 4:13-5:00.

With the Pokémon gathering this year earlier, there was a lot a people and it was very crowded. Since, Sailor Moon is back and the gathering was large at AX, even though this is a smaller con, I expect it to be the same way in a bit smaller amount. The pool deck is used much more than the patio. I was just thinking about this yesterday and decided that it would be too much, that an hour would be fine instead as I wouldn't want it to drag on long. Just was worried about the time not being enough, but I will run it efficiently so that it will be enough. And if so I'll move the gathering over so that we could finish moving the gathering over to the side as your group comes in. Hope I didn't sound too over my head.

I hope that will be fine.

Thanks!

Oooh, awesome! Give if I can even make it to ALA, I might go visit the Sailor Moon gathering. Anywho, added, and would you like to confirm?

Got it, and I totally understand. Popular series sometimes tend to have a terrible time slot because they either underestimate how many people come, or don't get the time/location they want.

@TishaAlbarn
No worries, I totally understand wanting to be cautious about times with these meetups. Homestuck ones can become very unwieldy very quickly if you don't have someone making sure it all keeps to a schedule. I just want there to be enough time for other meetups as well. Thanks for responding.
I'll probably see you there!

@Resident-chick
I'd like to confirm Friday @4:13-5:00 for the Patio but on Saturday perhaps the Pool Deck @4:13-5:00 might be a good idea.
